West Point Elementary

---

West Point Elementary carries a legacy that reaches back generations, with roots tracing to September 7, 1869, when records show the first school opened in what is now West Point City. From a one-room adobe schoolhouse built by community hands to the brick school completed in 1911 on the current site, later replaced after its demolition in 1996, education here has always been deeply tied to the people it serves.

Today, that same spirit continues with over 600 students learning in a truly multigenerational school community.

In his first year as principal, Greg Mudrow brings experience from teaching junior high social studies, stepping into administration with a desire to make a broader impact. Supporting him is administrative intern Christie Bouy, a familiar face to many as a former 4th grade teacher.

There is a strong focus on early learning, with the school celebrating impressive kindergarten reading growth. The arts also play a meaningful role in the school’s culture. The librarian, who leads both choir and theater, recently directed Aladdin Jr., drawing families and extended community members, even from out of state, back to the school.

West Point Elementary continues to reflect what it has always been, a place built by community, for community, where generations stay connected through learning.

Thank you for the opportunity to visit West Point Elementary. It was a meaningful time seeing the legacy of the school lived out each day through its students, staff, and families.
